Below you will meet some of the Ragdolls that are currently looking
for new homes, with links to their full adoption profiles, which
we would urge you to read. If you feel you can offer a life long
commitment and the right home to any of them please complete our
online adoption application.
Please take the time to read the following:
Homes are selected based on their suitability
and never on a first come, first served basis.
All potential adopters will be required to have
a home visit, carried out by one of our home assessors, before
any adoption takes place.
We ask all adopters to complete a copy of our
Homing Agreement.
We ask for a donation, currently £90, for
each cat adopted. All funds raised are used to help us continue
our rescue and welfare work and to meet the high veterinary costs
we incur.
Please Note: It is in the nature
of all rehoming and rescue that many of the cats involved will
be in poor condition and may require veterinary attention. In
all cases where the cats come into the care of the UKRCC, we will
ensure they are health checked, neutered, vaccinated, given preventative
flea and worm treatment and receive any other veterinary care
needed.
In the case of cats who are rehomed
from their original owner to the adopter, without coming into
the care of the UKRCC, while we endeavour to gain a full history
from the owner, regards general health, vaccination status, condition
of coat etc. we cannot guarantee that you will receive a cat that
does not require some veterinary attention when it arrives to
you. Often cats are rehomed needing vaccinations, dematting, dentals
etc. In these cases the UKRCC are committed to offering emotional
support to the adopters and to contributing towards, or reimbursing
the full costs incurred. However, while we work very hard to establish
as much information about every cat as is possible, we cannot
be held responsible for any poor health of the cat. We only know
what the original owners tell us. Rehoming a rescue Ragdoll requires
an emotional and financial commitment from the adopter and is
not a cheap way to gain a pedigree cat. If you require a ‘perfect
cat’, which has a health guarantee, then please source your
Ragdoll, as a kitten, from a reputable breeder.
An Appeal sent to us from a UKRCC Ragdoll Adopter |
I had spent years watching TV programmes where people do good deeds and adopt animals in need thinking "what a good idea" but NEVER doing anything about it
Back May 2005 I did do something about it and found my beautiful boy Indiana thru' UKRCC website. I was amazed that pedigree cats needed adopting - how green was I! I did adopt him - travelled to Suffolk to fetch him and I can tell you he was worth every mile.
He is adored by his family and his ragdoll brothers and sisters. He knows that I know how lucky we were to find each other.
So anyone reading this please think seriously and give an older ragdoll a chance and you will be rewarded many, many times with the fun they will bring.
Read the success stories on this website as proof over and over again that it is a good idea.
Don't just read and think someone else can adopt him / her - fill in the form and see if you and your situation suits - remember the UKRCC only have the best interests of the individual cats at heart and want the cat to fit the home and the home to fit the cat - they are not being fussy or mean or nosey they are trying to ensure that the cat is rehomed for life and will not a few weeks / months down the line be back on the rehome list. |
The UKRCC has a non-destruct
policy and will never put a healthy cat to sleep.
